At REEL, our volunteers are not just helpers — they are the heartbeat of everything we do. Without them, our programmes wouldn’t run, our communities wouldn’t connect, and our impact wouldn’t grow. 

Quite simply: we are powered by our people.

Every hour you give has a direct and lasting effect. It might mean helping someone feel less isolated, supporting a group to build confidence, or giving a young person the encouragement they need to believe in themselves. These moments add up — and they only happen because volunteers like you step in.

Volunteering with REEL isn’t one-sided. It’s about what you gain too. You’ll:

• Grow personally and professionally – develop transferable skills, build confidence, and strengthen leadership.
   
• Boost your wellbeing – volunteering improves morale, reduces stress, and creates a sense of purpose.
   
• Make connections – join a diverse, supportive team where every contribution matters.
   
• Stay flexible – whether it’s a few hours a week or one activity a month, we’ll work around your availability.
   

You can get involved as an individual or through your workplace. From planning and preparing activities, to co-facilitating groups, mentoring, or helping us reach new people, there’s a role for every skill and every level of commitment.

By volunteering with REEL, you’re not just giving time — you’re creating change. And you’ll be part of a team where people are valued, celebrated, and supported to make a difference.
